Step 1
Mix flour, butter, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until breadcrumb texture forms.

Brush beaten egg over each round. Divide topping mixture evenly on top, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Using a knife, score a shallow shell pattern across the surface of each round without cutting through.
Step 5
Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and edges feel set.
Step 6
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
